The result was no consensus. I suggest evaluating all of the sources listed, seeing if there's sufficient info that can be added to the article, and, if not, renom in a few months. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:42, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm struggling to find the notability of this company, the article certainly does not assert it. Also written like an advertisement, among other issues. Since the article has existed since 2006 I chose AfD. Thorncrag 16:33, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I agree. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and I unable to find any among the Google results. Msnicki (talk) 19:53, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Clearly non-notable. Not quite spam, but closer than I would like. Pushing otherwise non-notable products. --Legis (talk - contribs) 00:39, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep. This is one of those situations where I am personally familiar with the subject, but have a hard time finding the quality of sources that I usually expect. It's mostly just blog articles from a mix of mainstream and industry sources, which isn't surprising considering that this company mainly provides non-sexy infrastructure services. None of these would establish notability on their own but the breadth of coverage indicates that there may be something worth keeping here. For example:
- PC World article about the sale of the company
- PC World blog about Good Technology solutions used by T-Mobile
- One-line mention in NY Times blog about Credit Suisse employing Good Technology products
- Another mention from Forbes about how Deutsche Bank uses Good Technology products
- TechCrunch article about an industry acquisition
- Hence, weak keep. Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 00:41, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
